架构师提供的文本描述。在大多数典型的住宅开发项目中，居住空间面向中央公共区域。这就模糊了私人空间和公共空间之间的区别，使居民失去了隐私。在这个设计中，我们力求正确地界定公共空间和私人空间，并明确区分它们。

Text description provided by the architects. In most typical residential developments the living spaces face central communal areas. This blurs the distinction between private and public spaces and results in a loss of privacy for the residents. In this design, we have sought to properly define the public and private spaces and make a clear separation between them.

这一集群住宅开发包括10个单元半独立的房屋布置在一个入口法院，构成了主要的公共空间。球场由3个梯级游泳池(成人、儿童和幼童)组成，3棵弗兰基帕尼树从水中生长出来。围绕这水的特点是入口处的单位，每一个都有自己的私人庭院与穿孔花岗岩墙。私人封闭庭院和入口门厅是公共空间和私人空间之间的过渡地带。

This cluster housing residential development consists of 10 units of semi-detached houses arranged around an entrance court forming the main public communal space. The court is dominated by 3 cascading swimming pools (adult, child and toddler) with 3 frangipani trees growing out of the water. Around this water feature are the entrances to the units, each with their own private courtyard with a perforated granite wall. The private enclosed courtyard and the entrance foyer act as a transition zone between the public space and the private space.

生活区面对外围，在那里他们有自己的私人花园。在第二层，少爷面对中央空间，但与木材屏风保持私密。毗邻的是一个阳台，然后成为公共平台，居民可以通过这个平台与游泳池区域和其他单位联系起来。

The living areas face the external perimeter where they have their own private garden. On the second level, the junior master faces the central space but is kept private with a timber screen. Adjoining it is a balcony which then becomes the public platform by which the resident can relate to the pool area and the other units.

楼梯和电梯核心从前部向后退，从而使前立面的标度降低，使房屋具有与入口场相关的更好的尺度。此外，一半的阁楼被保留为一个开放的屋顶露台，从而进一步减少了开发规模。不过，每个单位仍有5间卧室、1间书房和1间公用室，以及两个私人停车场。

The staircase and lift core are stepped back from the front thus giving the front elevation a lower scale to make the houses have a better scale that relates to the entrance court. Furthermore half the attic is left as an open roof terrace so as to reduce the scale of the development even more. Nevertheless, each unit still has 5 bedrooms, 1 study and 1 utility room as well as two private car park lots.

在内部，生活区与开放式概念厨房毗邻形成一个主要空间。带有几何铝制屏幕的楼梯为房屋的各个部分带来了大量的光线。主卧室和浴室面向后花园，以保持隐私。

Internally, the living and dining area forms one main space with the open concept kitchen adjoining it. The staircase with its geometric aluminum screen brings in lots of light to all parts of the house. The master bedroom and bathroom faces the rear garden as well so as to maintain privacy.
